This morning I found my daughter, in the foyer of our house, doing some research for her school project. Markers strewn about. Ipad on the floor. Marker in hand. Taking notes on her posterboard. Barefeet. Cutting out photos to display. We had a nice conversation about ‘reliable sources.’ We talked about photos and proper use. I walked away and thought, look at her environment. Messy. On the floor. Then I thought, look at her. Comfortable.
What if we did more of what works for kids in our schools?
